Learn More About Viking+

In 1995, serial entrepreneur Brad Offerdahl sold his 3rd business and realized
there was a need for a professional firm to help the main street business owner
that doesn’t have $50,000,000 in sales and a board of directors running the
company. Brad realized that he could transform his real-world knowledge into a
business opportunity.

So in 1996, Brad Offerdahl and his son Jay Offerdahl started Viking Mergers &
Acquisitions, focused on providing comprehensive business acquisition and
business brokerage services with an emphasis on communication, confidentiality
and closing sales.
